Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s service location in Kuopio is moving
7.8.2024 12:32:31 EEST | Digi- ja väestötietovirasto | Press release
The Digital and Population Data Services Agency’s service location in Kuopio is moving in August 2024. As from 23 August, the services will be available at Kallanranta 11.
Exceptions to opening hours
The last day of service at the current service location in Puistokatu will be Friday, 16 August. Because of the move, the service location will be closed between 19 and 22 August. As from 19 August, there will be an outdoor mailbox for customers who need to leave documents for the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. The mailbox will be placed on the right side of the front door to the new premises
However, most matters do not require a visit to a Digital and Population Data Services Agency service location and can be handled through electronic service channels or the telephone service instead. These channels are available as usual, and the change in customer service facilities will not affect their service hours. In matters requiring a visit to a service location, we recommend that you book an appointment. This way you can avoid queuing.
Services requiring a visit relocate to central government’s joint service locations
After the move, the other authorities serving customers at the joint service location of Kallanranta in addition to the Digital and Population Data Services Agency will be Metsähallitus, Defence Properties Finland, Senate Properties and Arts Promotion Centre Finland (Taike). The shared office facilities of these five government agencies will be located on the 2nd floor and their joint customer service facilities in connection with the street-level main entrance on the first floor.
